Courmayeur - January 19th to 25th 2013

 

After the terrific season kick-off in Canada, the most important freeride tour in the world will continue with two European classics: the Freeride World Tour 2013 (FWT) will guest in Courmayeur-Mont-Blanc (ITA) on January 19, 2013, and in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc (FRA) on January 26, 2013. After the merger with the Freeskiing World Tour and the Masters of Snowboarding, FWT presents the strongest start list of all time, bringing together the entire elite of freeriding athletes.

Sitting on the south-eastern side of the Mont Blanc in the Aosta valley, Courmayeur is an absolute delight of a resort. This area of the Alps is a timeless freeride venue, packed with big lines and offering some stunning heli-skiing options. Courmayeur and the Aosta valley are top-notch freeride areas with awesome couloirs, vertical drops and stunning views from all angles. On January 19, 2013, Courmayeur welcomes the Freeride World Tour for the third time. TĂȘte d'Arp is the chosen venue for the thrilling men's ski and snowboard competitions, giving the riders the choice of multiple start positions.
